•
SiMultaneous Acquisition of Spatial Harmonics
•
First parallel imaging technique
–
Generate virtual k-space lines from spatial response of coil
sensitivity
–
Combining elements to produce required sinusoidal
variations
•
Weighted coil sensitivities used
–
Determine coil sensitivity profiles
•
In practice very restricting on coil design, empirical
self-calibration is used
